Planning Commission Minutes February 14, 1996 concern. We need to review the traffic accident reports in this area. She explained that a self contained neighborhood with a park may be a good concept. She also explained that this is an excellent starter neighborhood for residents who want to remain in Roseville. She asked if the homes could be moved into a different configuration. Shardlow responded that it is financially not feasible to move many and the strategy should be to move as few homes as possible but to gain better access first.

He recommended that the City and neighborhood hold neighborhood meetings on the improvements to the egress and ingress at the edges of the neighborhood and work with the neighbors to review the 20 year land use plan for this area and answer questions about the future.
